# Performance Co-Pilot Grafana Plugin

[![Build Status](https://github.com/performancecopilot/grafana-pcp/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/performancecopilot/grafana-pcp/actions?query=workflow:CI) [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/grafana-pcp/badge/?version=latest)](https://grafana-pcp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

[Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)](https://pcp.io/) provides a framework and services to support system-level performance monitoring and management. It presents a unifying abstraction for all of the performance data in a system, and many tools for interrogating, retrieving and processing that data.
